Reflection:
Mobile devices are a way to help students conduct their own ideas and find information on their own with the guidance of the teacher. I think
that this topic was a bit harder for me to think of different ways to incorporate mobile devices into the classroom. The more I went through this
matrix, I became more comfortable with the idea of using mobile devices in the classroom. I like the idea of having mobile devices that help
children learn more about a topic that they can see. I like the idea of conducting experiences and having them record the experiments so they
can go back and watch it to see what happened or what went wrong. I also think that letting the students take pictures to return to later will
help them remember different aspects of a lesson. Letting students find their own information can also be more meaningful to the students
instead of having a teacher move at a certain speed , it allow them to work at their own pace and gain more from the learning. I think that I

would use mobile devices more to supplement learning and help build students understanding of a subject. I think it is important to still teach
students information but this allows them to look at the information and learn more (gain a deeper understanding).
